Not yet 24 hours old

Dec 20 2013

And here is my girl, about 12 hours old.  We had a decent night (you forget all the sweet baby noises that keep you up in the middle of the night), she is such a great nurser, and know exactly what to do.  

Baby girl does have some cheeks even though she came early, and I am sure they will only get more plump with some good milk, and time.  

The boys came into meet their sister this morning with Daddy.  We were so thankful to have Brittni Ouelette stay with our boys last night so Daddy could stay in the hospital with me.  They love Aunt Brittni. 

They were so excited to meet Anna and really wanted me to come home immediately. 

The progression of Luke's face is so fun for me in these pics.

The cheese just gets bigger. 

Noah is just repeating over and over that "I love you Baby Anna." as he holds her hand. 

We had to unwrap her and look at her hands and feet.

 I can't remember what Luke said here, but it was precious. 

 This is what Momma did most of the day. And feed this hungry girl.

 The boys hung out and looked at the cars below.  

 My wonderful Dr. Esra.  We were so blessed to have her deliver Anna. 

 The boys had to pile in. 

 This first time big brother had to learn the ropes from Noah.  Noah was pretty good at giving him instructions on how to be gentle.

Warming my girl up.  

I have to brag on Turkish hospitals.  This was the special meal brought to my room.  Veggies, Steak, Potatoes, grilled veggies, dessert, fruit juice.............

 All the special drinks they brought through out the day.........

And they wanted to send someone to do my hair before I left.  

They also have a service where a nurse comes to your house, to make a visit and help you when you get home.  

 And here are my sweet visitors, who brought the best cookies that I ate all of.
